Executive chef Nakaune has prepared a series of exquisite dishes that fuse modern sensibilities and techniques with the traditions of French cuisine, including his “Duck and Foie Gras Puff Pastry,” which won first place in the Japanese preliminary round of the 35th Pierre Taittinger International Cuisine Awards in 2001. In addition, he has expressed his respect and gratitude for his hometown through seasonal ingredients grown in the rich natural environment of his hometown, Kochi Prefecture. Guest chef Yoshiaki Kishi also created a fish dish that made generous use of the luxury ingredient “Nodoguro” from Niigata Prefecture. This dish, which combines the bounty of the Sea of Japan with skilled techniques, is a masterpiece that, along with its profound flavor, evokes the origins of Chef Kishi himself. With a background of approximately 40 years of master-disciple relations, the two chefs will offer a course that combines the traditions of French cuisine with the essence of their hometown. The many years of study and bond will be reflected in every aspect of the cuisine, creating a dinner party worthy of the 30th anniversary milestone. Furthermore, the banquet will begin with a toast with a glass of Taittinger champagne, which is a symbolic presence in the lives of Kishi and Nakaune as French chefs. We also have a selection of high-quality red and white wines carefully selected by our hotel’s sommelier, and their refined flavors will be in perfect harmony with the delicate yet powerful dishes.
